Project attributes can be activated and deactivated either on the respective [project overview](#project-overview) page or, for managing multiple projects at once, in the global administration.

### Work, Remaining Work and % Complete

In OpenProject, '**Work**' refers to a work package attribute indicating the estimated hours needed to complete a task.
In OpenProject, '**Work**' refers to a work package attribute indicating the estimated hours and days needed to complete a task.
'**Remaining work**' is a work package attribute that shows how much work is left to finish the work package. It is automatically calculated if you work with [status-based progress reporting](../user-guide/time-and-costs/progress-tracking/#status-based-progress-reporting). And '**% Complete**' is an automatically calculated work package attribute that shows in percentage how much work is already completed. All three attributes are important for [progress reporting with OpenProject](https://www.openproject.org/blog/changes-progress-work-estimates/).

To make it easier for project managers to work with work package hierarchies, OpenProject also displays a value (in blue) for the total amount of work in the Work field for parent work packages – next to the value for the dedicated work package. This **total work value** is the sum of the work value of the parent work package and all the work values of its children. The same principle applies to the work package attribute Remaining Work.
